If you’ve ever watched “The Traitors” and wished you could take part, now’s your chance. The hit gameshow has been adapted for the U.K. and Ireland as a social deduction experiment played entirely via WhatsApp.
Created
by CityDays in partnership with All3Media International, “The Traitors: Anywhere” is an officially licensed game inspired by the show. No downloads or apps are required outside of WhatsApp.
Designed for up to 30 players (aged 16 or over) to play over the course of a week, it allows friends, families or colleagues to transform a group-chat into a “high-stakes world of suspicion, scheming and surprise” according to the logline.
Players must navigate missions, Round Table discussions, banishments and covert traitor activity before one emerges the winner. You can privately message with the host while the main group chat becomes the staging ground for dramatic reveals and unfounded accusations.
“Following the huge popularity of ‘The Traitors,’ we are delighted to bring ‘The Traitors: Anywhere’ to players across the U.K. and Ireland in 2026,” said Tom Rymer, founder of CityDays. “Now it’s your turn to play against the people you think you know, all unfolding over a week of unforgettable gameplay. The question is simple: can you trust the people you know best?”
Nick Smith, licensing EVP at All3Media International, added: “‘The Traitors’ is built on one irresistible question: who can you trust? ‘The Traitors: Anywhere’ takes that question and puts it into the hands of players themselves, transforming everyday group chats into a world of suspicion and intrigue that will make you look at your friends, colleagues and family in a whole new light. Following our successful partnership with CityDays on ‘Race Across The World: The Experience,’ we are delighted to now welcome them on board as our latest faithful partner for ‘The Traitors’ to offer fans across the U.K. and Ireland the chance to live out their own ‘Traitors’ game — no castle required.”
“The Traitors: Anywhere” is set to launch exclusively in the U.K. by fall 2026.
